Gran Canaria Weather: Roasting Hot For San Juan Party

Hot week coming up in Gran Canaria Hot week coming up in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

19.06.2016: The Gran Canaria weather goes from hot to "bloody hell, it's hot", starting today. 

Temperatures will get to over 30ºC during the day by the end of the week so San Juan will be a hot fiesta.

Expect south Gran Canaria to be sunny and hot all week with the north sunny but slightly cooler thanks to a bit of morning cloud and weak Trade Winds.

The highlands will be hot and sunny and we expect at least a yellow temperature aviso at some point during the week. It's not a good week for walking. 

There's been a lot of reports of a big calima to go with the heat, but we're not seeing anything significant on the dust forecasts. There may be some dust in the air midweek, but no sign of a major calima event.

UPDATE 20.06.2016: There will be some calima from Wednesday. 

If this changes, we'll let you know.

San Juan Tides

Low tide on the night of San Juan (Thursday 23) is 22.17 so there will be plenty of space on the beaches for the traditional night time party.

Walking backwards into the sea at midnight brings you good luck for the year.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
